A harbinger of spring surprised the residents of the village of Podkrepa earlier than usual. The first stork arrived in the village of Podkrepa (Haskovo region) even before its residents adorned themselves with martenitsas. The stork named Dancho arrived on February 20, whereas last year it arrived in the village five days later- on February 25. The bird perched on an existing nest on an electric pole near the church of St. Prophet Elijah and immediately began preparing it for his family. In 2023, six stork couples chose Podkrepa as their home.
